Thanks for this suggestion which I pushed right now.

I have not yet looked at your other change requests, though.

Except for this:

> 14.3.2.  {13.3.2} Hash Algorithm Preferences

>    Since SHA256 is the MUST-implement hash algorithm, if it is not

I changed this from "SHA-1" to "SHA2-256".


Shalom-Salam,
